not kidding

You won't believe what I made last night... I'm barely believing it myself and I did it. I made a Halloween costume for a banana. Yup... a banana. Marky came home on Monday with a competition "assignment" - to dress up a banana with a costume for Halloween - due Thursday (along with regular homework). So... we made a "banana bride". Are you KIDDING ME!?????
And HOW can you expect anything less than her (my?) best on this project... sigh... tonight we, I mean she, is going to finish the project by making a shoebox scene to accompany the banana. She thinks that she is going to make a church. I can't believe that this is my life :). I mean her life.

Pumpkin Patch fun

Today, Meredith and I went to the pumpkin patch for a field trip. Her preschool class was supposed to go on Friday, but it was way too cold. She handled the disappointment pretty well, knowing that the trip was rescheduled for today. Michael stayed at home with Daddy so that I could go along. We had a great time together - hayride, corn maze, picking out a pumpkin. It is so much fun doing things with Meredith for school. I can't believe that she's old enough to be on a field trip!

Great weekend

Our weekend was filled with fun times. We carved pumpkins, made a craft at Lowes, had Grandma and Poppop over for supper, made our way to CSU for Obama's speech and most of all had very special family times together. I love our weekends together as a family. The house gets messy and loud, but that just means that we've had great times and made good memories.
